to all,
there are many threads floating around that all the well known apps to hide bottom bar and task (top) bar are not working anymore under WM6.5. i am talking about dcinobar (v1, v2), nuenobar (v1.3, v2.0) and vjtoggletoday (inkl. todayiialpha).
i want to start this thread to gather all relevant information here to overcome this problem.
@mods: please do merge other similiar threads in here
to make a start: i found the author of dcinobar
there are two versions of dcinobar and the author is also providing source code on his website.
maybe someone is more capable than me to use this source code as a hint to create a new app for this problem?
good old dcinobar,
has nothing to do with 6.5 ****, tho.
it is like asking about remake of nuenobar..or vjtoggletoday.

you seem to be knowledgeable.
is it not possible at all to hide bottom bar in wm6.5?
i think it may be possible - for wm6.5 roms without titanium plugin at all - but NOT DONE, yet.
titanium changes handling of softkeybar(new, and maybe old manila is working same way), it may be not possible, surely it won't be easy...notice it is dynamic, not static as default 6.1 softkeybar..
sad to say - xdadev bacame strange place - you may find every possible software ripped from commercial products, ton of UGLY skins, but there is no developer to MAKE such thing, as just softkeybar remover...
just ms/htc software promo site...wow factor tragedy, imo.
btw, i am using hs++ too, i do not need titaniums, manillas, 15 mb+ mem loss, etc.

yeah. hs++ is great. it is the only ui which is easily highly customizable but does not consume much power and cpu.
i use it more iphone stylish like (see attached)
but back to the topic.
at least it is good news that it could be done, even with some limitations (like deactivated titanium or manila)
if only i could understand this. if you run dotfred's taskmanager and browse through the different windows one can see that the softbar window is cascaded, i.e. a window within a window within a window where the bottom bar is displayed.
it should be possible to hide or close this window (and keep it closed) and increase the size of the desktop screen
isn't anybody out here, who takes this as a challenge?

yup, messy thing, imo..add sip-handler to that(wad shows that problem clearly)...
btw, i can recommend task manager 3.1, 3.5 for such insight operations.
app is perfect to be used in roms to determine whole lots of useful info + regeditor/regimporter.

lucky you
does it only hide the bottom bar for you or could you also use the space for your today screen?

It hides the bottom bar and makes the space usable.

yeah. this is how it used to work on my diamond wm6.1 - but not on wm6.5.
guess i have to wait for another wm6.5 build
You can hide the bar on WM 6.5 fine as long as you disable the Titanium plugin. And since there is no reason to hide the bar if you are running Titanium, I fail to see the issue here.

correct - you fail to see the issue here.
1. i am using hs++
2. many users have had recently problems in hiding bars with tools like dcinobar, nuenobar and vjtoggle (see my first post)
3. so do I (see my first post)

but if there IS reason, wise guy?
I'm saying those bar hiding apps work fine under WM 6.5. I thought that was what you were trying to fix. If you let me know the reason I might be able to help. Saying you need help hiding the bottom bar in 6.5 when there is an app that works, well...

that sounds more reasonable now.
could you specify which bars you are able to hide?
manila task and bottom bar
titanium task and bottom bar
today screen task and bottom bar

As has been said already. Under WM 6.5 you can hide the today bottom and top bars as long as you are not using titanium or manilla. Those apps (dcinobar and vjs app) were designed to hide the bars but not to work on today screen plugins. If you want to modify a today plugin, you will have to hex edit the plugin directly and/or create a new program that modifies today plugins.

not sure if we are talking about the same. why would i hexedit a plugin in order to hide the today screen bottom bar.
hiding bottom (and task) bar is independent of the plugin as it is controlled by shell32.exe.
but you seem to know what you are talking about. let's give it a try. i am using homescreen ++ (see signature). what do i have to hexedit?
thanks in advance
I use Nuenobar 2.0 and it work fine. no problem!

Are you asking about the top bar or the bottom one? "Taskbar" used to refer to the top one in 6.1 and 6.5... but with the start button and X/OK button moving to the bottom, we have to re-think things.
Changing the icons on the top requires some editing of the shellres and other dll files. I havn't seen any new taskbars released that are based on the newer 230XX builds. Most customizers are waiting for Microsoft to release a 6.5.1 version before putting work into Beta code. This means that if you do install a custom taskbar from a different build, it may affect the buttons on the bottom.
If anyone has seen a custom top taskbar for 6.5.1 (build 23037 or newer), I'd be interested in trying it out.

I used one of m6's taskbar sets and put the icons in 23049 dll's. You can find it here.

I have searched the forum for a solution to make the taskbar and bottom bar transparent in Tf3d 2.1 as in wm 6.5 but I have not found any specific for the diamond. I have seen it done on the Blackstone with really good results. I'm using wm 6.5 (deepshining 8.0). Does anyone now a way to make the taskbar and bottom bar transparent in Tf3d 2.1 on the diamond. tried this app but I cannot see all the options because (I guess) it is optimized for wvga:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011&highlight=transparent
hi!
i know that there are many other threads about this but they are all for older or newer versions of wm
does anyone know how to make the taskbar transparent or change it's background (so i can use my wallpaper as bg and it's like it were transparent) in WM 6.1?
i don't want to use app like wisbar because they must run in background and waste ram...
thanks for any hints
transparent taskbar
hey. no solution for this issue yet ? thx
Don't think this is possible in 6.1...

Hello:
I am looking for a transparent slider as that of the photo
http://img153.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1q.jpg/
The fund has to be transparent and the cursor also. I have lowered several cabs but they all give me problems.
I have a HTD Diamond 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Manila 2.1.
There is someone who could pass the cabs to me and who they work correctly?
If also there is someone who can make like transparent the bottom(fund) of the taskbar of the top part, i'm fine. Since you see in the previous photo, it is possible to do.
Thank you
hello and welcome to the forum
you can find the discussion here
Since one installs this?
Thank you
